I've purchased a 5-star rated Whirlpool air-conditioner on 11th of May 2019 through Flipkart. But to my surprise it started malfunctioning within one month of its purchase. I 've raised complaint calling Whirlpool service center. They've sent a technician. He inspected it for an hour and finally agreed that there is an issue. He took pics of both indoor & outdoor units. Told that the component will get replaced within one month. I've waited for six months but of no use. I was continuously calling them, each time they are giving a different ticket number but nobody is turning up & issue isn't getting resolved. Totally fed up with Whirlpool service.

Indoor Display Flagpoles and Parade Marching Poles
Hardwood Parade and Indoor Flagpole1 Review
About Parade Flagpoles
A parade flag pole is the vertical pole that is carried with a flag on it in procession during a parade or ceremony. Parade flagpoles come in several finishes, including metallic gold or silver, wood and fiberglass. Choose a parade flag pole based on it's height (in relation to the size of your flag) and diameter to fit into your base, if you'll be using a floor stand to rest the parade flag pole in at the end of the parade or on other occasions.
Parade flagpoles are typically adorned with a decorative finial that is appropriate to the flag being carried. An eagle is typically used on the pole of an American flag, a maltese cross for a fire department flag and a cross for a christian flag. There are other finials available as well. For a flag that doesn't have a corresponding finial, we recommend either a square or round spear top.
Ais a specific type of parade flag pole, which is used primarily by military color guards to carry their branch or unit flag. These are traditionally a light ash wood color and are topped with an army spear. Guidon staffs come with brass or chrome fittings.
A parade flag pole is also the type of pole used for display indoors in an office, entryway or at the front of a church or meeting room. When used this way, the parade flag pole would sit in a floor stand and hold a flag vertically. Usually these are used with a fringed flag, a finial, a cord and tassel and often a flag spreader to complete the look. We offerfor this purpose.
About Marching Band Flag Poles
Marching band flag poles are usually made for carrying the school flag, and are lightweight with a plug at the bottom to allow them to be lifted and lowered during procession without damaging the bottom. These poles are usually topped with a gold ball.
Did you know that we can create aGettysburg Flag Works specializes in high-quality sewn, embroidered and printed flag and banners for all different kinds of organizations. When calling for a custom quote, talk to your representative about recommending the right parade flag or banner pole for carrying it.
Choosing Banner Poles
Banner poles are the horizontal bar that is used to carry a large lead banner to announce the group following it. You will see a lot of this type of banner carried by 2 or more marchers in front of a marching band, fire department, club or other group. Banner poles are jointed for easy storage and often have gold acorn shaped ends. Banner poles are available in silver, gold and wooden finishes.
To measure for your new banner poles, first measure your lead banner. For the comfort of those carrying the banner poles, leave at least 4-6 inches on either side of the banner for the marcher to hold the crossbar.
Another use for banner poles is to mount the crossbar using our crossbar mounting support hardware to a vertical parade flag pole. If you have a gonfalon or vertical banner with an opening in the center of the sleeve, it can be slipped over the crossbar and carried vertically by a single marcher. We see a lot of these types of banner pole/parade flag pole combinations used during a commencement ceremony. To see this type of setup, look for our gonfalon mounting set.

The parking lot is full—unusual for the small strip mall where I sell video games. It takes me a while to park my car, and when I make it into the store, chaos greets me: a line at the counter, the cardboard remnants of a FedEx drop shipment scattered everywhere, my harried-looking manager matching names from a printout to real customers standing in line, then doling out colorful boxes to the mob as quickly as she can. An unattended toddler knocks over an endcap display and starts crying.
I hurry to the back of the store to grab my name tag. When I return, a customer at the front of the line exclaims, "Bullshit, lady! I got the preorder slip right here. I want the damn jet ski game, not just the Mario one." The other customers in line begin to stir angrily. My manager looks over at me as though I might be able to sort out the mess.
It is September 1996, I am 18 years old, and I am the "keyholder" at Babbage's store no. 9 in Houston. This is the North American launch day for the Nintendo 64, which makes it the third major 1990s console launch I am lucky (or "lucky") enough to work. As the yelling escalates, I wonder if I'm going to make it through my shift without getting punched in the face.
But let's start at the beginning.
Sega Saturn
In August 1994, I began working at Babbage's as a minimum wage sales associate earning $4.25 per hour—which, having just turned 16, I was thrilled to have. By the time the whole operation came to a crashing close three and a half years later, I was an older but wiser man who had worked through not one, but three separate console launches that would together bring "modern" consoles to the world. For younger or newer gamers, those who have seen console launches only in the last few years, those mid-1990s launches may sound like they took place in a different country. And in many ways, they did. The retail landscape around video games felt little like it does today, and the launches themselves were not quite the truly mainstream events they have become in the years since—but for store employees, they were just as crazy.
It was a heady time to be a gamer. No "Nintendo 64" existed at that point, though gaming magazines were abuzz with news that the console developer was working on something called "Project Reality." If EGM and GamePro were to be believed, this new platform would deliver some kind of virtual reality gaming experience that would be like a mash-up of The Lawnmower Man and TRON and uploaded directly into our brains, where it would redefine the future of video gaming while melting our faces right off.
But first, before the face-melting could begin, came the Sony Playstation. And before that came the Sega Saturn. And before all three came the oldest gaming activity of them all: arguing that the system you had purchased had been the best possible choice.
Babbage's had two other part-time sales associates when I arrived, and both of them seemed 12 feet tall in my young eyes. Todd, the most senior, had won a 3DO in a magazine contest; the other, Jeff, owned an Atari Jaguar. These two systems defined state of the art in the middle of 1994. The 3DO was a god-like machine of mythical capabilities with a price to match. Retailing at $699 at launch, it played hardware-accelerated, smooth-as-butter video from CD-ROMs, and its games looked amazing. Todd waxed rhapsodic when he described FIFA Soccer or Road Rash or, most incredibly to me, Crystal Dynamics' port of Star Control II, which featured full-motion video and speech.
But my coworker Jeff at every opportunity talked up the superiority of his Atari Jaguar. In addition to being more affordable to mere mortals, the Jaguar touted itself as the first "64-bit" gaming console. This was mostly a marketing-based claim, as the technical details behind it were a bit hazy, but it didn't stop either Atari or Jeff from shouting about it from the rooftops.
Unfortunately, Jeff's Jaguar suffered from a sad dearth of titles. The system itself had a neat visualization mode where it would display trippy graphics with a music CD inserted, and the copy of Cybermorph it came with was weirdly fun, but it never had a huge number of games.
However, the Jaguar did have one thing that no other system did: Aliens vs. Predator. In 1994, years before the stunning awfulness of Alien Resurrection, this was the freshest Alien franchise item you could get your hands on (well, it was either this or a Laserdisc player with a copy of the Criterion Collection Aliens special edition, but normal people didn't own stuff like that). Aliens vs. Predator was mind-blowing: you could play as an alien or as a Marine or as a Predator! I devoured the AvP box's pictures and copy, and I listened rapturously to Jeff's telling and retelling of his gameplay experiences. Many times over my first year at Babbage's, I almost sunk three or four entire paychecks into that console and a copy of AvP—but I could never quite commit.
Increasingly, however, it became clear that both systems belonged to the past. The 3DO vs. Jaguar in-store holy wars continued, but 1994 closed with us all eagerly anticipating the launch of the Sega Saturn, which went on sale in Japan around Thanksgiving 1994 and was slated to come to the US for at the end of the third quarter of 1995. My buddy Jason, an anime connoisseur and ardent lover of all things Japanese, predicted that the Saturn would lead to a renaissance in video gaming; Sega's laughable Genesis add-on, the 32X, was sitting on our store's shelves like a thing already dead, unselling and unsellable. Never mind Sega's misstep with the 32X, though; the Saturn, Jason predicted, would make up for all past sins and destroy the 3DO and Jaguar both.
The Sega Saturn certainly looked like it would be impressive. From a technological point of view, it had a CD-ROM drive and more than a half-dozen processors scattered around inside of it. More importantly, though, was its pedigree. In the beginning of 1995, console gaming was something of a two-party system: you had Nintendo with the SNES on one hand, and Sega with the Genesis on the other. Sure, there were other options—the 3DO and the Jaguar were two, of course, along with more fringe consoles like the TurboGrafx 16, or the even more rare Neo Geo and its $200 cartridges—but most folks were either (R) Nintendo or (D) Sega.
Nintendo still cultivated a family image, where Sega went edgier, both in games and in advertising, and so the Saturn seemed to appeal to a hardcore gaming audience. Its launch price of $399 was a little nutty compared to how much a Genesis or SNES cost (though not as stratospherically absurd as the 3DO's $699), but when we began taking preorders in anticipation of the September 1995 US release, sign-ups were brisk.
Sony was busy playing up its own entry into the home console market, too. The implosion of a partnership with Nintendo to produce a CD-ROM add-on for the SNES led directly to the development of Sony's Playstation console, which launched in Japan less than a month after the Sega Saturn and which was targeted to follow the Saturn to market in North America, and at only $299, undercutting Sega's console by a hundred dollars.
In many ways, the Playstation was less technically impressive than the Saturn. Rather than a tour de force of two CPUs and an array of co-processors, the Playstation had a far less complex traditional architecture, with a single CPU and a single GPU. Judging by the quality and type of titles, the Saturn was especially good at moving around sprites and art; the Playstation looked better at pushing polygons. Fighting game purists put their money on the Saturn, since the most popular 2D sprite-based titles would look and play best there.
Sneaky Sega
Today, with the remnants of Babbage's, Software Etc., and Electronics Boutique all gobbled up by the slavering used-game-powered beast that is GameStop, it's hard to remember just how different things used to be. Babbage's, for example, had an actual return policy. When I started, you could return anything—console game, PC game, productivity application—within 30 days of purchase for a full refund or exchange, so long as you had saved your receipt.
People rarely abused the privilege. We tracked returns and exchanges, and if someone was going crazy, we might stop letting them do returns, but we had few issues. If anything, the policy boosted sales because it let folks take chances on titles. After all, if it sucked, you could always take it back!
We sometimes wore ties then, we sales associates, and we knew what we were talking about. Uncommissioned, carrying no quota, and encouraged to be honest, we were trusted friendly faces. If you wanted cheap video games, you went to Walmart, but if you wanted actual expert advice on what to buy and a gold-plated return policy, you went to Babbage's.
It was a great job—the best a young geek could ask for. In order to ensure that we stayed current on our knowledge, we were encouraged to check out games, keeping them for a day or two in order build familiarity. We received regular visits from game company reps, who would appear in the store and dole out demo copies of hot titles so we'd be able to sell their wares more effectively.
The atmosphere was collegiate, joyous, ridiculous. Our manager, Anna, was in her late 20s and as goofy as the rest of us. Pranks abounded. A running informal contest challenged employees to package the largest and most complex items possible using the shrink-wrap machine in the back. One evening, I shrink-wrapped my manager's office chair (this is a lot harder than it sounds). We would have shrink-wrapped each other's cars if we could have gotten them into the back room.
But things got serious around launch day, especially with the Saturn, because Sega pulled a fast one in May. It struck a blow against Sony by unexpectedly releasing the Saturn months ahead of schedule in the US. We got a drop-shipment of Saturns and games the morning of the announcement, and we busily started selling the things. Although, after the pre-order folks had picked their units up, we found ourselves with a back room full of Saturns and not many interested buyers.
Some of the launch title choices were odd for a North American audience. Virtua Fighter sold best, followed closely by Daytona USA, but the other two titles were more difficult. Clockwork Knight was a platformer with pretty graphics but child-like box art that no one purchased; Panzer Dragoon appeared to be about riding on a dragon and blowing things up, but it resonated even less with customers than did Clockwork Knight.
The Saturn's price was its biggest stumbling point, though. A September launch date might have encouraged folks to splurge on the expensive system for the holidays; it also would have given Sega some more time to cook up some additional launch titles. At the start of summer, though, without a holiday in sight, no one was going to drop $400 on a console and $50 each on top of that for some weird-looking games. The Saturn rotted on our shelves.
Sony played its cards well, holding fast to its own late 1995 release date and lower $299 price. We took far more Playstation preorders than we did for the Saturn, and the year crawled toward September with a growing realization that the Saturn was dead in the water—that was what it looked like to us retail pukes on the ground, anyway, with sales circling the drain even within a few months of launch.

Thought for Today: "In masks outrageous and austere/ The years go by in single file;/ But none has merited my fear,/ And none has quite escaped my smile." — Elinor Wylie, American author (1885-1928).

OSPREY, Fla. (AP) — At the end of 1959, two families of four — one in Kansas, the other in Florida — were brutally murdered.
Two men were arrested, charged and executed in the Kansas case, and writer Truman Capote captured the horrific tale in his iconic true crime book, "In Cold Blood."
The Florida murder of two parents and two children was investigated by dozens of detectives over the years, but it remained unsolved. Now, a detective is trying to prove that the men who were executed in Kansas were also responsible for the Florida slayings.
"It's like putting together a jigsaw puzzle," said Sarasota County Sheriff's detective Kimberly McGath, who began re-investigating the murders of Cliff and Christine Walker and their two young children in 2007.
McGath said there is evidence that points to two men who are now in a Kansas cemetery for executed prisoners: Perry Smith and Richard Hickock.
DNA recovered from semen found on Christine Walker's underwear could be compared to the remains of Smith and Hickock, said McGath. She is working with Kansas authorities to petition a judge there to approve exhuming the bodies of the two men.
Linking long-dead killers to unsolved homicides is becoming more common.
In Chicago, the Cook County Sheriff's Department is trying to find out whether serial killer John Wayne Gacy could be responsible for any more deaths. Officials there are entering murderers' DNA profiles into a national database shared with other law-enforcement agencies. The move is based on an ironic legal distinction: The men were technically listed as homicide victims themselves because they were put to death by the state.
Authorities hope to find DNA matches from blood, semen, hair or skin under victims' fingernails that link the long-dead killers to the coldest of cold cases. And they want investigators in other states to follow suit and submit the DNA of their own executed inmates or from decades-old crime scenes.
Kansas officials said this week they have talked with Florida detectives and would continue to help if the Florida detectives file an exhumation petition in court.
Hickock and Smith are buried on a gently sloping hill at the Mount Muncie Cemetery in Lansing, Kan. The state of Kansas interred its executed criminals there when their families didn't claim the bodies. There are about 28,000 graves.
Cemetery manager Gene Kirby said the Hickock and Smith graves regularly draw visitors, particularly around the anniversary of the Clutter slayings or when "In Cold Blood" receives media attention.
"We have a fair amount of people come out and ask where they're buried, want to come down and actually see the graves," Kirby said. "If there's anything in the news that kind of piques the interest."
The possibility that the pair was involved in the Florida murderers has been considered since 1960, according to records released by the Sarasota Sheriff's Office.
After Smith and Hickock killed the Clutter family in Holcomb, Kan., on Nov. 15, 1959, they fled to Florida in a stolen car. They were spotted at least a dozen times from Tallahassee to Miami and points in between.
On Dec. 18, the two men checked into a Miami Beach motel and checked out the next day. That day, the Walker family was killed at their home on a ranch in the small community of Osprey about four hours northwest of Miami near Sarasota.
Cliff Walker was shot to death and his wife was beaten, raped and then shot. Three-year-old Jimmie was shot to death and his 2-year-old sister was shot and drowned in a bathtub. The gruesome scene days before Christmas shocked investigators. News stories at the time noted that there were gifts around the tree.
At some point on the same day, Smith and Hickock bought items at a Sarasota department store. On Dec. 21, witnesses say they spoke with Smith and Hickock in Tallahassee.
McGath said the Walkers had been considering buying a 1956 Chevy Bel Air, which was the kind of car Smith and Hickock had stolen and were driving through Florida. McGath thinks that somehow, the Walkers and the killers met because of the car.
The detective found witness statements — and talked to people who are still alive — who said they saw Smith and Hickock in the Sarasota area around the time of the Walker murders. One witness said the taller of the two men had a scratched-up face.
The pair was later arrested in Las Vegas and a polygraph test cleared them of the Walker murders. But in 1987, a polygraph expert said those tests in the early 1960s were worthless.
Authorities said the Walkers still have some living relatives both in and outside of Florida but declined to give names. McGath has been the one leading the effort to find their killers.
She hopes the DNA will prove that Smith and Hickock killed the Walker family so the community can have closure, and so the dozens of people falsely accused over the years as suspects in the case can finally have peace of mind.
Kirby said it's likely that only bones remain in the Kansas coffins.
"In this case, it's going to require a backhoe," he said. "Especially with the drought we had this year, the ground is going to be extremely hard."
Kirby hopes that if an exhumation occurs, officials will be able to get the material they need by simply opening the coffin on site, without full removal. He was also concerned about the timing of any exhumation, because relatives visit other graves and decorate them around Christmas.

There are some interesting variations in table salts:
Pickling salt, Canning salt, Coarse salt, Gos sel – fine grained without iodine or anti-caking preservatives. This is basically table salt, but without the iodine and anti-caking additives that turn pickles dark and the pickling liquid cloudy.
Kala Namak – Kala Namak, or Indian black salt, is an unrefined mineral salt. It is actually a pearly, pinkish-gray color rather than black, and has a strong, sulfuric flavor and aroma. Vegan chefs have made this salt popular for adding in egg-y flavor to dishes like tofu scrambles. Kala Namak is used in authentic Indian cooking, and popular in mango smoothies.
Pretzel salt – large grained, does not melt quickly.
Rock salt – large crystal salt with a gray color. Grey color is due to minerals not removed as in normal table salt.
Popcorn salt – very fine grained salt which is flakier version of table salt.
Iodized salt – contains a small amount of potassium iodide and dextrose as a dietary supplement to prevent thyroid disease.
Seasoned salt – table salt with herbs added like onion, hickory smoke, garlic or chili peppers. Great in soups stews or any meat dish.
On saltworks.com, we find another increasingly popular salt (with a well known kosher certification!).
Himalayan Pink Salt
Himalayan Pink Salt is pure, hand-mined salt found naturally deep inside the pristine Himalayan Mountains.
The high mineral crystals range in color from sheer white to varying shades of pink to deep reds which indicates a beneficial amount of all 84 trace elements & iron (normally available in almost every unrefined, unprocessed salt).
Primarily used in gourmet cooking and body-care it makes a beautiful table salt. It's used mostly with salads, soups, fish, grains, pasta and vegetables.

Being a foodie I'm always on the lookout for new or interesting products. I recently came across a company with over 1400 products many, many of which have good, globally accepted, hechsherim. That company is Roland Foods.
I tried four of their products in various dishes and liked them!
I found quite a few uses for the Oven Roasted Tomatoes Marinated in Oil with Garlic and Oregano and here is a very simple, delicious recipe by SYR:
Penne Rigate con Pomodoro Arrestito
3 cups penne rigate (you can substitute your favorite pasta)
4 cloves chopped garlic
8 ozs. shredded mozzarella
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil
1/2 lb Roland oven roasted tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
Sautee the chopped garlic, until golden brown, in olive oil.
Bring water to a boiling point, add a half teaspoon of salt, (it keeps the pasta from becoming bland), add just under a capful of oil (will keep the pasta from sticking to each other, if you use more than a capful it will make the pasta soggy), add the pasta and cookal dente stirring frequently. How do you know that the pasta is ready? Look at the pasta box' recommended cooking time and start testing about 30 seconds before the lowest recommended cooking time. If you gently toss the pasta against the wall and it sticks… it's ready!
A couple of minutes before the pasta is ready, warm the oven roasted tomatoes with some of their own oil.
Drain it, put on a serving dish, while hot about half of the shredded mozzarella, the sauteed garlic, the chopped oregano, chopped basil, the tomatoes and the rest of the shredded cheese. Add salt and pepper as needed. Garnish according to your own taste, we used cheery tomatoes Serves 4.
You'll find the oven roasted tomatoes give this simple dish a delightfully delicious, rich taste.
Next SYR made a salad with the can of Whole Mandarin Oranges.
Mandarin Orange and cubed Mango Salad
One can of Mandarin Orange, one cubed mango, fresh red lettuce, fresh romaine, radicchio, arugula, craisins, cherry tomatoes and diced fresh cucumber. Colorful, refreshing, delicious!
Next we tried a variation on the traditional bagel with lox and cream cheese.
Every day I pick up a dozen dozen bagels, still hot, with that just baked aroma at: Bagels & Cheese (1304 Avenue M; Brooklyn, NY; Telephone: 718.998.8778), this morning I did so as well but I added lox and cream cheese. For the photo above we added Capers to the lox a bit of tangy, lemony, flavor. We added a Fire Roasted Red Pepper to the cream cheese. The pepper was surprisingly sweet. The whole combination made an incredibly succulent bagel sandwich.
We liked these four products tremendously and we will be using them in a variety of old and new recipes.

I didn't see the evangelical pastor Rick Warren interview the presumptive presidential nominees yesterday at his California megachurch, but I was curious about the man who persuaded Barak Obama and John McCain to spend an hour apiece answering his questions. Somebody had stolen my library's only copy of Warren's The Purpose Driven Life, which the trade journal Publishers Weekly called "the bestselling nonfiction hardback book in history." But I found the paperback edition in the Christianity section of a local bookstore. Here are some quotes from The Purpose Driven Life.
"Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning."
"God has a purpose for your life on earth, but it doesn't end here. His plan involves far more than the few decades you will spend on this planet."
"Temptation is a sign that Satan hates you, not a sign of weakness or worldliness."
"I once heard the suggestion that you develop your life purpose statement based on what you would like other people to say about you at your funeral.

Introducing Adobe Edge Web Fonts
As part of our efforts to make web fonts more broadly accessible and easy to use, we're excited to introduce Adobe Edge Web Fonts, a new free web font service.
Edge Web Fonts features hundreds of web fonts, including a sampling of fonts from the Adobe library as well as a large collection of open source fonts. Under the hood, the service is powered by Typekit: it uses the same standards-based method of serving fonts and makes use of the same global font serving network for speed and stability. But it's completely free and requires no account or kit configuration — making it faster and easier to get started.
Google Web Fonts and Edge Web Fonts
We've partnered with Google to make many of the open source fonts originally commissioned by the Google Web Fonts project available through Edge Web Fonts. At the same time, Adobe is contributing two open source fonts of its own — the recent Source Sans Pro and, announced today, Source Code Pro — to both the Adobe Edge Web Fonts and Google Web Fonts services.
In addition, Adobe will be applying its considerable font expertise to improving and optimizing a number of the open source fonts that are available in both Google Web Fonts and Edge Web Fonts. The teams from Typekit, Adobe Type, and Google Web Fonts are working to identify which fonts will benefit the most from our attention, and how we can best approach improving their rendering and performance. Efforts will include hinting some fonts for better rendering at smaller sizes, plus a number of other optimizations. All of these contributions will themselves remain open source.
We're excited to be part of these efforts, and are glad to be once again partnering with our friends at Google to improve fonts on the web. Read more from Google here.
Available now
Starting today, you can use Edge Web Fonts in both Adobe Muse and Edge Code, a code editor based on the open source Brackets project. Next up, Edge Web Fonts will be available in the soon-to-be-released Edge Reflow, a tool for creating responsive CSS layouts and more. More integrations are upcoming with Adobe's Edge Tools & Services.
But Edge Web Fonts isn't limited to Edge tools — you're free to use it with whichever tools you prefer. You can preview some of the best of the fonts here, where you'll also find instructions on how to use them in your web projects. We've also made a list of all of the fonts in the Edge Web Fonts library available.
More tools for working with Edge Web Fonts are just around the corner. Stay tuned.

Nice – it's like a lighter Typekit, with a layer removed for the end-user. And that's not to imply that Typekit is heavy, because it's also a great user experience.
Looks great! Well done.
Small nit: why not use the protocol-relative URL for the script include? Looks like the domain supports SSL already.
They have mentioned it here:
Ah, makes sense. Yeah file:// gets cranky on Windows. Understandable.
I think this service is a great thing for the web, though I do hope a better system for previewing the fonts is in the works.
Amen to that!
Awesome work ! Love the tie up with Google fonts.
Can you help me out with how we can integrate the new fonts from Adobe Edge Web Fonts into Adobe Muse ?
I am a bit puzzled and overwhelmed and will appreciate if you can point me to a tutorial or video or something. Thanks !
Muse has natively supported Adobe Edge Web Fonts since the v1 release of Muse in May 2012.
Video tutorial: http://tv.adobe.com/m/#!/watch/adobe-inspire-magazine/using-typekit-with-adobe-muse/
This is awesome! One major drawback for me, however, is the lack of a way to view the font repertoire – I work on a non-profit multilingual website with very wide character set usage and it would be invaluable for me to be able to rank fonts based on Unicode ranges or even just the number of glyphs.
This is an excellent news! Great going!
I made a preview overview of all available Edge fonts for quick browsing:
Such a nice surprise, Adobe!! 😀
Does this mean you're a step closer to allowing fonts to be used in Adobe applications? It's still a real pain in the hind to have to download fonts elsewhere, or screenshot text for mockups.
I'm sure you've heard this complaint before though, so feel free to respond with a link to the why's (or why-not's, in this case).
Cheers, great product/service.
No Eastern European characters?
Why is JavaScript necessary for loading these fonts? Always thought the only reason for TypeKit using this approach was for DRM reasons.
So, why should we use Adobe Edge Web Fonts instead of Google's? Will the Adobe improvements be only available on Edge?
Sorry, but: Big whoop, a pile of freefonts. If you're really trying to improve upon Typekit, start by issuing agency licenses the way fonts.com does.
How about STIX fonts? They are free and essential for any kind of "scientific" content on the web. Embedding them by hand and serving from own domain is pain, using TypeKit scripting and CDN would be great help to man kind.
I've made a easy compilation of available fonts here: http://peterchondesign.com/adobe-webfonts.html
Peter, I went to your site and the first thing that struck me is how similar the fonts were to each other…. then the images downloaded.
Thanks for a valuable service!
Great service 🙂
How about unicode support?
Many many people said this would never happen, but it's happening :p
the 'free' webfont revolution goes on…
I've also made a little tool to preview the fonts: http://edgefonts.toekneestuck.com It's paginated so it doesn't kill your browser, you can view each variant/style, and also set custom preview text 🙂
adobe has definitely woken up ….nice
What about open type features? Will these be available on any of these fonts? And if so are they documented any where?
Pretty disappointed with the fact that 99% of the fonts do not have Central European characters.
In the 'List of Available Fonts', two fonts – Double Pica and Geo – have duplicate ' n4' FVDs. It seems in both cases one of those needed to be 'i4' instead.
(sorry, couldn't quite find the appropriate contact form to report this :))
(this is fixed now)
Reblogged this on Laggacy and commented:
Look what I found on the Typekit Blog. Good news for web developers who don't use Typekit.
Is there a Way we can build in missing Estern Europe characters by ourself, or download font, add character and reuplovd it?
Edge Fonts seem not to work in Midori browser (0.3.2 / Ubuntu). Other webfont providers (Google, Font Squirrel) are fine.

Gators look for fast start in Starkville
STARKVILLE, Miss. — Florida doesn't need to be reminded of its most recent slow start heading into tonight's game at Mississippi State.
The Gators were down 27-24 on Wednesday night at Georgia, the first time they trailed in a half since falling behind 33-23 on Dec. 22 against Kansas State. But Florida regrouped with a dominating second-half effort, outscoring Georgia 40-20 in the 64-47 win.
Getting off to a better start will be a priority for the No. 8 Gators tonight in their second straight road game. Florida responded to the challenge of falling behind 11-2 early at Georgia. But it's never easy playing uphill away from home.
"We have to make sure we're ready to go from the get-go because teams on the road are going to be really excited," Florida junior forward Will Yeguete said.
Florida allowed six 3-pointers in the first half against Georgia before clamping down defensively in the final 20 minutes. Florida coach Billy Donovan said the Gators were late on some defensive rotations, which resulted in some wide-open Georgia looks at the basket.
"I want our guys to play perfect and great for every single second of the game," Donovan said. "But I think also you have to prepare your team, when things don't go well, how are they going to respond. And it was good to see our guys respond the way they did coming out of the half for us because it was not a great first half for us by any stretch of the imagination."
The Gators (15-2, 5-0 SEC) will be going for their eighth straight victory, which would match their longest winning streak since starting the 2009-10 season 8-0. They will face a Mississippi State team that's rebuilding under first-year coach Rick Ray. After winning its first two SEC games, Mississippi State has lost its last three games by an average margin of 24.3 points.
The Bulldogs average an SEC-high 17.9 turnovers per game, which bodes well for Florida, considering its ability to press. Mississippi State is coming off a 96-70 loss at Arkansas on Wednesday night. In the Arkansas loss, the Bulldogs had 29 turnovers, which led to 42 Arkansas points.
"We're definitely going to press because that's what we do and hopefully we can turn them over," Yeguete said.
Donovan said Ray has done a good job of mixing defenses early this season.
"You are going to see 2-3 zone, 1-3-1, aggressive man-to-man," Donovan said. "They play extremely hard."
But Mississippi State is clearly not as talented as it has been in seasons past. When Ray took over for Rick Stansbury during the offseason, underclassman starters Arnett Moultrie and Renardo Sidney both declared early for the NBA Draft. A third starter, Rodney Hood, transferred to Duke. To make matters worse for the Bulldogs, starting center Wendell Lewis has been out since mid-December with a fractured kneecap.
Junior guard Jalen Steele, a 36.6-percent 3-point shooter, is the only returning starter from last season's Mississippi State team.
"He's been always a guy who can change the game because of his ability to shoot the basketball," Donovan said. "He can do it off the dribble, he can do it off the catch and he's also got the ability to kind of get in the lane and create and make things happen. He's a very good player, and we have to do a good job on him."
G Kenny Boynton 6-2 Sr. 13.3 ppg, 3.5 rpg
G Mike Rosario 6-3 Sr. 12.2 ppg, 2.4 apg

Notes: Florida has won seven in a row and is 5-0 in the SEC for just the fourth time in program history. The Gators previously started 5-0 in the SEC in 1961, 2003 and 2007. … The Gators are playing their fourth road game in their last five games and have played nine of their last 12 away from the O'Connell Center. … Florida ranks third in the nation in scoring defense, holding opponents to 51.4 points per game. The Gators have held nine opponents under 50 points and 13 opponents under 60 points. … Senior forward Erik Murphy ranks first in the SEC in 3-point shooting percentage at 45.7 percent (32-of-70). … Kenny Boynton made his 300th career 3-pointer against Georgia, becoming just the seventh player in SEC history to reach the mark. … Mississippi State is 5-2 at home this season. … The Bulldogs are bringing their top two scorers — forward Roquez Johnson (10.7 ppg) and guard Fred Thomas (10.6 ppg) — off the bench. … Junior forward Casey Prather remains out for the Gators with a high ankle sprain.

What are germiest places at school?
Lunch boxes, door handles, toilets, oh my! Colds and infections often make their way into homes via the classroom. The CDC reports that "some viruses and bacteria can live from as little as 20 minutes and up to 2 hours or more on surfaces like cafeteria tables, doorknobs and desks." Though proper hand washing may keep germs at bay, parents may be surprised to learn where in school that their children pick up germs and illnesses.
School Supplies
Classrooms are filled with pencils, crayons, markers, books and other school supplies. Even the desk your child sits in can spread germs. Teachers can help curb the spread of germs by encouraging weekly cleaning of desktops and desk contents. In addition, students should be encouraged to throw tissues away after use rather than stuffing them in their desks. Studies have found that the dirtiest thing in the classroom is often the pencil sharpener. To avoid it, WebMD suggests that parents should provide mechanical pencils instead.
WebMD notes that the lunchroom isn't always as sanitary as it should be, especially if your children are sharing their food, failing to wash their hands before eating, or taking their lunch out of a lunchbox that hasn't been properly cleaned. Parents and children can tackle the germs that live and spread in the lunchroom by sharing slices of food, rather than bites, preparing lunches after hand washing and on a clean surface, and washing hands before and after eating.
Parents and teachers regularly remind children to wash their hands after using the bathroom, but many don't think about other ways that germs are spread through the bathroom. Carrying in backpacks and purses and placing them on the floor, for example, spreads germs to you and wherever your bag goes, too. WebMD encourages students to hang bags if they must take them into the bathroom.
Book Nook
Wondering where your child got lice? These insects often spread in schools where children are in close contact. Ask your child's teacher about his or her policy for washing pillows, chair covers and other fabrics found in the classroom. Teachers of young children often have a book nook or library corner that is meant to be comfy for kids. However, once children sit down and get comfortable, lice and germs can spread to fabrics. If a place like this exists in your child's classroom, it's a breeding ground for germs.
The best ways to avoid inviting unwanted germs into your home is to nip them in the bud before they arrive on your doorstep. The CDC encourages regular hand washing, covering your nose and mouth with a tissue that is promptly thrown away, and avoiding touching eyes, mouths and noses. By promoting the same, you help keep the germiest places at school a little bit cleaner, and away from your front door.

Story highlights
Austria's capital Vienna was rated the best city to live by Mercer
Eight out of the top 10 cities with highest quality of life are located in Europe
The worst city to live of the 221 surveyed around the globe is Baghdad, Iraq
The survey takes 39 factors, such as crime rates and medical care, into account
Vienna, famous for its hundreds of museums, 2000 parks and of course its roasted coffee, is the best place on the planet to live, according to Mercer's 2012 Quality of Living Index. This year's latest accolade makes Vienna number one in the world for the fourth year in a row.
The annual survey by the global human resources consulting firm points not just to Austria's qualities but to much of the region's virtues. Eight of the report's top 10 cities are in Europe. Zurich is the world's second most livable city while three German cities – Munich, Dusseldorf and Frankfurt – follow close behind.
"Overall, European cities continue to have high quality of living as a result of a combination of increased stability, rising living standards and advanced city infrastructures," said Slagin Parakatil, Senior Researcher at Mercer. This is despite economic turmoil, political tension and high unemployment in some European countries.
Australian, New Zealand and Canadian metropolises round out the top ten list.
The world's top 30 cities of the Mercer 2012 index
1. Vienna, Austria
2. Zurich, Switzerland
3. Auckland, New Zealand
4. Munich, Germany
5. Vancouver, Canada
6. Düsseldorf, Germany
7. Frankfurt, Germany
8. Geneva, Switzerland
9. Copenhagen, Denmark
10. Bern, Switzerland
10. (tie) Sydney, Australia
12. Amsterdam, Netherlands
13. Wellington, New Zealand
14. Ottawa, Canada
15. Toronto, Canada
16. Berlin, Germany
17. Hamburg, Germany
17. Melbourne, Australia
19. Luxembourg, Luxembourg
21. Perth, Australia
22. Brussels, Belgium
23. Montreal, Canada
24. Nuremberg, Germany
25. Singapore, Singapore
26. Canberra, Australia
27. Stuttgart, Germany
28. Honolulu, U.S.
29. Adelaide, Australia
29. (tie) Paris, France
29. (tie) San Francisco, U.S.
Mercer's survey results are based on an analysis of local living conditions comprising 39 factors in 10 categories. Political considerations include government stability and crime rates. Economic factors take into account banking services and currency exchange laws. Health considerations include access to medical care and pollution levels. Transport, housing and recreation are also taken into account.
City scores help multinational companies calculate compensation packages for the employees they dispatch overseas. A lower score often correlates into a better compensation package that includes hardship allowances, according to Mercer.
Countries with unstable governments or undergoing civil strife tend usually have lower scores. Eight African cities dominate the bottom ten in this year's survey.
"The ongoing turmoil in many countries across North Africa and the Middle East has led to serous security issues for locals and expatriates," says Mercer's Parakatil. "Companies need to be able to proactively implement mitigation plans, such as emergency repatriation, or adjust expatriate compensation packages accordingly."
Around the word and on a regional basis, the cities that score the lowest are the following:
64. Belfast, Northern Ireland (Western Europe)
71. Detroit, Michigan, (United States)
207. Dushanbe, Tajikistan (Asia-Pacific)
213. Tbilisi, Georgia (Eastern Europe)
219. Port-au-Prince, Haiti (North Americas)
This year's city with the worst quality of life?
Baghdad, Iraq at #221.

Buying Your Home - Home Inspections & Warranties
Do I need a home inspection?
The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) has developed formal inspection guidelines and a professional code of ethics for its members. Membership to ASHI is not automatic; proven field experience and technical knowledge of structures and their various systems and appliances are a prerequisite. One can usually find an inspector by looking in the phone book or by inquiring at a real estate office or sometimes at an area Realtor association. Rates for the service vary greatly. Many inspectors charge about $400, but costs go up with the scope of the inspection.

Just missing the story tellers, local souk and snake charmers, I walked into mystical Morocco when I entered Darna (600 Columbus Ave – North East corner of 89th; New York 10024; Telephone: 212.721.9193), right here in New York City, in Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Magically transported to the heart of Fez, Rabat, Marrakech or perhaps Casablanca and Rick's Café Américain… I expected to hear the echo of Ilsa's voice asking Sam: "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By.'"
I arrived at Darna as they began dinner service. Carlos tastefully arranged a corner table for me while Katja navigated me through the extensive menu of surprisingly well priced fare.
I started with a Humus plate, which came with a zaatar (hyssop) pita and mixed greens.
Deliciously flavorful, it was followed by Moroccan Cigars with accompanying greens and tomato flower garnish atop a Tehina Sauce.
The meat filled cigars were crispy on the outside, tender and savory on the inside; a perfect blend of flavors.
Darna's Stuffed Chicken was the main course, a whole roasted Cornish hen stuffed with prunes, apricots, raisins, mushrooms and almonds with a side of Couscous (their signature dish!) topped with string beans and carrots.
The stuffed hen was tender and superb in taste; the side dish delicious! The meal was accompanied by a delightful 2007 Barkan Pinot Noir.
Darna means "our home" in Moroccan Arabic. The time went by too quickly; the homey food, the polite and friendly staff, the cozy beautifully appointed authentic Moroccan décor, the soft Moroccan music certainly made me feel like a valued guest at the home of some trusted old friends…truly a hidden precious jewel in Manhattan!
To borrow a line from the movie Casablanca, "Luis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." I'll be back!
